Who is this Jamin guy anyway?
I am the husband of one and the father of nine. I was created to sing, to worship, to encourage, and to be steady. I am the Owner & Executive Director of Trinity Arts Center, a multi-disciplinary Arts Center in Eastern Tennessee, and the President of Trinity Arts Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization focused on funding arts education and performance. I've been involved with four music projects in my life -- Hot Pink Turtle, Spin Radio, Stand Like Stone, and of course, Jamin Rathbun.

James 2:12-13, 17Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment... Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Flow TheoryThis is one of the coolest games I've played in a long time... engaging, fun, soothing... Very easy to get lost in and -- a good way to wind down your brain after a long week. Enjoy! = )

If you're interested... There's also a deeper psychology behind the development of this game called Flow Theory. The idea behind flow theory is to provide a participant, of any level, the opportunity to find exactly the right amount of challenge needed to engage. Providing too much challenge causes anxiety. Too little challenge creates boredom. Either results in our disengaging from the game, activity, work, or task that we are undertaking.

An activity (work or play) is fun is when we have created complex, but negotiable, challenges that allow the individual to engage or disengage, to work harder or work safer, to elect a path that fits their own abilities. The implications of applying this type of flow theory to your leadership or management style is pretty interesting.
